Recommended Oils, Fluids, Coolants, Filters, Components for 2021 Ford Bronco

[dgorsett]

Front axle lube capacity higher on non locking non FAD than with FAD, meaning the FAD is in the differential case. North7 shared a photo that implies this but I believed it would be Indiidual Wheel Engagement (IWE). Really this only applies to the non Sas BB and a few OBX w/o adv 4x4, so I'm probably the only one who cares, but interesting.

What about the coolant capacity difference on a 2.3, between 7mt and 10at? does that mean coolant flows through the 10at for cooling? I can't imagine that's a packaging difference ..

The 2.7 has a Motorcraft 2026A “ cartridge” for the oil filter.

Unlike many transmissions that route fluid to the radiator to cool, the Bronco routes coolant to a heat exchanger mounted to the transmission, hence more coolant. There is a photo in one of the transmission threads, but I couldn't find it.

5w30...thought they might have moved to 5w20 that my last few fords have ran.

Cool, thanks as I know what to get now...sticky this for future reference maybe?

I expected 5w20. Odd.

Idk what DCT fluid is but it doesn't belong in a manual, it was painful enough having to put ATF in Ford's older manuals.

I think all the "regular" EcoBoost engines except some of the 3cyl in Focus, Escape, EcoSport take 5w30?

Nope, I noticed that too. Very curious, especially since IWE has become so common on Fords.

An 800 CCA AGM battery is a nice surprise

2.3 oil filter vs 2.7 oil filter

2.7 oil filter looks a lot bigger and newer design (and 2-3x more expensive)

[/QUOTE]

It's for a Dual Clutch Transmission, and I agree it does not belong in a manual. Getrag Manual Transmissions are a bit finicky when cold. The MT82 6spd in the Mustang calls for the same fluid. It was to address complaints of a "notchy" feeling when shifting while cold.
I run amsoil MTG (Manual Transmission Gear Oil) in my Mustang. It is still a bit "notchy" when cold, but greatly improved. This notchy feeling is actually the synchronizers and should and can be avoided. A quality oil and deliberate slow shifts or double clutch shifts are required when cold. Once it's warmed up a few miles, smooth as silk.

Do we know the recommended intervals.

3k, 5k, or 7.5k?

Is motorcraft full synthetic, blended, or Pennsylvania crude?

 

[Bronco Don]

I’m getting the 2.7 and it seems the oil filter is on top of the engine, if thats true that’s like my Tacoma and a breeze to change. All so I’m going to use full synthetic in mine I hope that will be ok.

Probably uses an oil life monitor with 10k max life. I'll use mobil 1 full synthetic.

Discussed this with Redline a while back, DCT fluid is closer in viscosity to an ATF, but with the antiwear additives like an MTF. A DCT is pretty much two manual transmissions in parallel, anyways. Speccing out DCTF in a manual trans happens a lot, it's what is in the GS6-45BZ manual in my M235i.

I'll mark this thread so I can refer to it in 2028 when I need to do some service on my Bronco...
